On Tuesday I had another class. This one went well. We got to do a little tour of the rooms where we will stay after the birth. We looked at a 2 bed room that was empty. It was nice, but I just think it would be so much nicer having a room to yourself... especially when there are crying babies involved. Anyway, we should be able to get a private room because our insurance is private and that is the kind of room I had when I was in the hospital before and they paid for it.
Then after looking at the room we got to go see the nursery where the newborns stay. There was only one baby in there, but he was so sweet. He was so little and cute. Our midwife asked permission from one woman if we could look in her private room and she let us so we went in there and she had her newborn with her. She said the baby had come 4 weeks early.... wow! I can't imagine... that would be me having my baby right now! It's hard to believe that it could happen at any time now.
The second part of the class we discussed breast feeding, baby skin care and things like that. I guess I will be doing the acupuncture on the 18th. Then apparently it is something that you do once a week so I will have to continue to make appointments after that, even though it is the last class. That is the class that Clint can come with me to so he will get to see the acupuncture. It should be interesting.
On Tuesday we also went to a second hand store down the street for babies and children and we bought some clothes. I guess we are pretty much ready for the little angel to come. :) There are still some things I would like to get, but I guess we have the necessities. Well, we still need diapers and some other things but we are slowly getting there!

Do the babies have to stay in the nursery? Ashlyn never went to the nursery except when they did the blood tests. Most babies stay in the room with the mom (that I know of). Can Clint stay with you in the room? Do you deliver in your room or go to a special delivery room? I stayed in the same room the whole time at the hospital (even for delivery). Just curious. Remember Ashlyn came 3 weeks early. Surprise! Get ready!
Love ya,

That is crazy that the baby could come any time. I keep thinking that we have everything ready, sheets washed, clothes, etc. But if she came today would I really be ready? I am so excited for you and Clint!
i read your sister's questions - i was wondering the same things : )
you could be having a baby any day now : )!!!!!!
I was just thinking about you the other day and wondering how close it was for you...it's fun to hear about someone else going through all this in Germany--although it's Chemnitz and not Dresden...wonder if that makes any difference? I almost tried the acupuncture--let me know how it turns out :-)
Ooooh, that's so exciting that it could be any day now! Yay for Eby's imminent arrival!
